Abstract
AIM To examine central sensitization (CS), and to investigate the relationship between CS, and urinary symptom severity, and quality of life (QoL) in women with overactive bladder (OAB). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 144 women with OAB included the study. CS with the Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI), urinary symptom with the Overactive Bladder Questionnaire-Version 8 (OAB-V8), bladder diary and Patients' Perception of Intensity of Urgency Scale (PPIUS) and QoL with the King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ) were assessed. RESULTS It was found that 47.9% (n = 69) of women with OAB had CS. It was observed that the CSI score was related to the OAB-V8 score (ρ = 0.327; p < 0.001) and the average number of voids/day (ρ = 0.291; p < 0.001). Additionally, urgency severity was higher in women with OAB with CS than in women with OAB without CS (p = 0.006). There was a relationship between the CSI score and KHQ-incontinence impact (ρ = 0.250; p = 0.012), KHQ-personal relationship (ρ = 0.253; p = 0.002), KHQ-sleep/energy (ρ = 0.180; p = 0.031), KHQ-emotional state (ρ = 0.310; p < 0.001) and KHQ-severity measurement scores (ρ = 0.391; p < 0.001). CONCLUSION In this study, it was observed that the majority of women with OAB had CS. It was found that more severe symptoms of CS were associated with worse urinary symptom severity and QoL in these patients. It may be beneficial to evaluate CS in the management of OAB and to consider CS when determining treatment strategies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS The objective was to investigate the effects of spinal stabilization exercises (SSEs) focusing on the pelvic floor with regard to urinary symptoms, pelvic floor muscle strength (PFMS), core stability, quality of life (QoL), and perception of subjective improvement (PSI) in women with overactive bladder (OAB). METHODS Patients were randomly divided into SSE (n=23) and control (n=24) groups. The SSE group received SSEs focusing on the pelvic floor for 3 days a week for 8 weeks and recommendation. The control group received only recommendation. Before (BT) and after treatment (AT), urinary symptoms were evaluated with Overactive Bladder Questionnaire-Version 8 (OAB-V8) and bladder diary. PFMS, core stability, and QoL were assessed using the Modified Oxford Scale (MOS), Sharman test, and King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ) respectively. AT, PSI with a Likert-type scale, and compliance with recommendations using a visual analog scale were assessed. RESULTS The OAB-V8 and the KHQ scores, the number of voids per day and voids per night decreased and the MOS and the Sharman scores increased in the SSE group (p<0.05). In the control group, the OAB-V8 and incontinence effect, social limitations, emotional state, and sleep sub-dimension scores related to KHQ decreased (p<0.05). The OAB-V8, role and physical limitations, emotional state, and sleep sub-dimension scores decreased more, and the MOS, the Sharman, the PSI, and the compliance with recommendations scores increased more in the SSE group than in the control group (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The SSEs focusing on the pelvic floor improved urinary symptoms, PFMS, core stability, QoL, and PSI. This exercise approach may be beneficial in the management of OAB.

Abstract
AIMS Overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome has been associated with core muscles weakness, which is important in aetiology of low back pain (LBP) and affects general well-being. This study aimed to compare the lumbopelvic stability, LBP and well-being of women with OAB to asymptomatic controls and to determine the cut-off points. METHODS Women with (OAB group, n = 36) and without OAB syndrome (control group, n = 36) were included. The lumbopelvic stability with the Sahrmann and McGill trunk muscle endurance tests, LBP intensity with the Visual Analogue Scale were assessed. As for general well-being, sleep quality with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), fatigue severity with the Fatigue Severity Index (FSI), anxiety and depression levels with the Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale (HADS-A, HADS-D) were evaluated. RESULTS In the OAB group compared to the control group, the lumbopelvic stability scores were lower (p < 0.001) while LBP prevalence (p < 0.001), pain intensity (p = 0.020), and PSQI, FSI, HADS-A, and HADS-D scores (p < 0.001) were higher. The cut-off points for trunk extension, flexion, right and left lateral flexion endurance tests and Sahrmann test were ≤9.42 sec, ≤8.62 sec, ≤19.26 sec, ≤5.16 sec, and ≤2 level, respectively. The cut-off points for PSQI, FSI, HADS-D, HADS-A were >5, >5.22, >6 and >6 scores, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Women with OAB syndrome had lower lumbopelvic stability, higher LBP prevalence and intensity, lower sleep quality, and more fatigue, anxiety, and depression levels compared to asymptomatic women. The cut-off values were detected between the occurrence of OAB and lumbopelvic stability and general well-being parameters.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the effects of Kinesio taping® (KT) and external electrical stimulation (ES) in addition to pelvic floor muscle exercise (PFME) and sole PFME in women with overactive bladder (OAB). MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients with OAB were randomly allocated into PFME, PFME + KT, PFME + ES groups. All treatments were carried out for 6 weeks. OAB symptoms with voiding diary and Overactive Bladder-Version8 (OAB-V8), pelvic floor muscle strength (PFMS) with perineometer, quality of life with King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ) were assessed before (BT) and after treatment (AT). AT, the perception of improvement was inquired. RESULTS AT, OAB symptoms and KHQ scores decreased and PFMS improved in all groups (p < 0.05). The intergroup comparisons revealed a further decrease in voids/day, voids/night, OAB-V8, and some KHQ scores, and a further increase in the perception of improvement in the PFME + KT and PFME + ES groups compared to the PFME group (p < 0.05). In the PFME + ES group, there was a further decrease in numbers of incontinence compared to the PFME group, and in severity measures scores compared to the other groups (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION KT and external ES in addition to PFME were more effective than PFME alone in the treatment of OAB.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONPelvic floor muscle exercise was found to be effective in reducing overactive bladder symptoms and increasing quality of life.Kinesio taping or external electrical stimulation in addition to pelvic floor muscle exercise is more effective in improving overactive bladder symptoms, quality of life, and perception of improvement than pelvic floor muscle exercise alone.Kinesio taping and external electrical stimulation can be used as a complementary application in the treatment of overactive bladder.Pelvic floor muscle exercise, pelvic floor muscle exercise + Kinesio taping, and pelvic floor muscle exercise + electrical stimulation applications should be included in conservative treatment options in patients with overactive bladder to reduce symptoms and cost, and improve quality of life.

Abstract
Living-donor kidney transplantations are more common in Turkey. The present study, therefore, investigated the structural changes in the remaining kidney and their impacts on the outcomes of 71 donors who underwent nephrectomy. Among 123 screened living-donor transplantations performed between 2001 and 2008, information was available on 71. The study group included 37 female and 34 male donors with ages ranging between 20 and 68 years (mean, 45 ± 9 years). The donors had a median follow-up of 7.2 years. We investigated renal function and creatinine clearance as well as the presence of proteinuria and/or hypertension before versus after nephrectomy. Healthy individuals referred to our blood center were included as the control group. A comparison of pre- versus post-nephrectomy with control group data did not show any significant correlations between serum creatinine levels, creatinine clearances, and the presence of proteinuria relative to post-donation years. In contrast, we identified an increased prevalence of hypertension: Stage 1 in 4 patients before versus 22 subjects after nephrectomy. A key finding of this study was the slight increase in the number of hypertensive donors. Hypertension is, therefore, the most critical parameter to monitor donors in countries with a high proportion of living donors.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to analyze the effects of ureteral stents used in renal transplantation on urologic as well as other complications. Cases of renal transplants from living or deceased donors performed in our hospital were retrospectively evaluated. The effects of the routine use of ureteral stents on postoperative complications were investigated. All outcomes and complications encountered during the postoperative follow-up were recorded. The Lich-Gregoire technique, which is a method of extravesical ureteroneocystostomy, was performed on all patients. One hundred and twenty-two patients underwent renal transplantation between 2001 and 2007 in our hospital. Stents were placed routinely in all patients. Leakage was observed in one patient, and one patient developed an obstruction; however, none of the patients developed an infection. A lymphocele developed in one patient. All urologic complications were treated without major morbidity. Graft loss did not occur. Complications following urinary anastomosis have a high rate of morbidity in renal transplantation. Ureteral stenting in renal transplant recipients prevents early urologic complications. The data generated in the current study were compared to the literature.
